Coding and Sleeping

I wanted to use a different e-mail for my GitHub account so I deleted my old one and made a new one. One of the checkboxes when setting up your profile is whether you'd consider new jobs. I've been contacted about eight times about jobs this week and I'm completely out of the market. Crazy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But, if I had friends who were Trump voters, they would no longer be friends. I cannot be friends with someone who would support someone like that.

Same.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My mystery sisters (I've told you guys about my half-sisters right?) both chimed in to support an anti-Trump, anti-third party post of my, um, regular sister's on FB yesterday, and I was so god damn relieved

Older half sisters who I met once or twice as a child, and who my sister met for the very first time this year. And is now FB friends with. I don't think my sister even knew they existed until about 5 years ago. It's a weird parallel thing - virtually zero interaction for most of my life, but they were, I think, as close or closer with my grandparents.

Our wings are not tired.

I managed to sleep 9 hours, but I really need more. And yet, stuff to do.

My closest friend locally supports Trump. She is the very opposite of a political person and has been an enthusiastic supporter of both Giuliani and Obama. Although for some reason she hates Michelle Obama and seems to now hate the president too. I refuse to discuss politics with her at all now. Although she has been to all events at my house she was surprised when I didn't invite her to watch the debates with me. I am going to tell her straight up that I don't want her to come over for Taco Tuesday because I only want people around me who are going to be celebrating.

I know I am excusing her, but ALL of the men in her life, father, brother, boyfriends, have been abusive. She doesn't get that Trump is not normal. As mentioned, I don't talk politics with her anymore, but I have pulled no punches when telling her that her dad, brother, and the men in her life are not normal. She does accept that and sees the difference between them and normal men, but she isn't to the place where she will see this in Trump. It makes me sad, but I can't write her off. At least she won't vote for Rubio! So points there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Families, man.

A friend of a friend literally said on Facebook: " I think it is in your every right to vote for Hillary. I just ask for the same respect back even though I am voting for a crazy, racist Cheeto."

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I'm assuming my dad and my FiL are voting for Trump, but I haven't asked them (and won't).

The local news had a story about patients with Alzheimer disease, and whether they should be allowed to vote (the upshot is, according to Ohio law, unless someone is declared mentally incompetent by probate court, they can vote): [link]

Yikes -- my massage therapist was just telling me that someone went to her friend's mother's dementia unit to "help" them vote. I have slightly mixed feelings, actually. Apparently the mother couldn't tell you what year it is or who the president is, but I bet she knows what party she prefers.
